I couldn't get enough of it; no matter where you ate, there would be a small bowl of this divine sauce on the table, each unique to the person making it. Only recently have I actively searched out the recipe. I did not follow the recipe to a tee, but combined this recipe with another a close friend gave me. In the end, I can't argue the results!Ingredients | Jamaican Hot Pepper Sauce Recipe10 fresh hot chile peppers, stems removed1 onion, coarsely chopped¼ cup pitted fresh dates, or more to taste¼ cup fresh basil leaves¼ cup fresh parsley leaves1 roma (plum) tomato, roughly chopped (Optional)2 tablespoons beef bouillon powder4 garlic cloves½ cup vegetable oil, or as neededsalt to taste1 squeeze lemon juiceDirectionsPlace peppers, onion, dates, basil, parsley, tomato, bouillon powder, and garlic in the bowl of a food processor; pour in the oil.
